El Gallo Azul
This building was built with occasion of the
Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 by order of Domecq family. Aníbal González
designed this building. The construction aim was to make more beautiful the
crossing between the Larga street and Santa Maria Street.
This building becomes in one of the symbols of
Jerez and one of the most photographed places, due to, the place where is
located, in the centre of the city, and its singular architecture.
The building is neo-moorish style and follows
the traditional architecture in brick that the architect was doing in Seville.
We have to highlight that it has the same style, period and architect that the
Jerez train station. The construction began in 1927 and was finished in the
next year.
The plant of the building is almost circular
and has an opened gallery with Ionic columns of white marble. On the top, there
is a big semicircular tile flanked by two jars of lilies.
Currently, the building is a restaurant.
